After being knocked by Ben's drunken dad Phil, Babe and Abi left Walford for a few hours last week, telling everyone they had been at the hospital, where they claimed she lost the baby.

Of course, none of that was true and this week, Ben's sister Louise discovers all. But rather than tell her brother, she decides to blackmail the pair with the information, which prompts Babe to encourage Abi to just come clean.

At first, she is relieved when Ben begins to kiss her - but an unsuspecting Abi then gets the shock of her life when her boyfriend marches out in front of everyone at the Queen Vic and announces her secret.

While Abi is then left to face the wrath of her boyfriend and his dad Phil, a more understanding Jay Brown tries to calm the pair down and stresses that she wouldn't have resorted to such tactics if Ben simply came clean about being gay.

With that in mind, Ben then ditches Abi and sets his sights on rekindling his romance with Paul Coker [Jonny Labey] - but is it too late?
